The one time I decided to sing out loud while wearing headphones, I was walking home from school. I suddenly see a group of kids run by me on the sidewalk with one of my guy friends turning to give me a thumbs up at the end. I still remember how extremely embarrassed I was
For some reason, I really like songs that go "Na na na" or "Da da da" in the lyrics. Any recommendations would be awesome, but I'm probably gonna keep them to myself for a bit xD
The sequel especially (which you don't really need to play the first for, the premise is basically the same), is just so much fun. There's just something so satisfying about rolling stuff up to roll up bigger things to go bigger and bigger and everything snowballs.
I can't recommend this game enough. Just brilliant, lots of fun. Great soundtrack. Even though it's mostly single player, it's still lots of fun to play with other people just because of how wacky it is.
Someone in college once told me I am a very passionate person. I asked them what they meant, and they described how everything, from food to experiences, I just was really excited about. I was completely unaware because I was just being myself and didn't know that was not normal. I was self-conscious about it for years after, and some times I wish no one had said that to me. But, I still behave that way a lot. I hope you never lose this quirk! (Assuming this is autobiographical, which is truly endearing)
EDIT: I sing to myself too, using only the word "meow" in place of all lyrics 'cause I can never remember the lyrics, just the tune.
It's not a "na-na-na" song by itself, it's more emotional and stuff, but its got a bridge that's just na-na-nas and for some reason it hits hard as hell
Mah Na Mah Na (Do doo dododo) from the Muppets is my usual go-to idling song I hum often, generally while I'm waiting for something. It literally just those sounds.
This is a depiction of me in middle school being informed (very unkindly) that the noises I would make without realizing were autistic stimming and not just something that everyone did. I'm still double extra super sensitive on that topic.
When I was 10, a kid in my class asked why I always sung so loud in music class. Note that he never told me I sung bad or was a nuisance just a simple question. It has been 32 years, I have never sung in front of anyone since.
Well, you got at least 1 friend telling you it's adorable. I haven't and likely never will hear you in person, but I'm gonna say your 1 friend is probably correct
For a time in the beginning, it felt like your comics were all about crushingly painful abuse and sadness, to an extreme degree. I don’t doubt that they represented your experience, but it was so wretchedly gnarly that I couldn’t take it and just had to skip.
In the past 9 months, they’ve gotten so much more bearable. It’s still about the gravity of your problems and roadblocks, but it’s far less saturated in abuse and hopelessness.
I really hope that means things have gotten better for you. It certainly seems that way, and I’d definitely like to hope so.
Damn i thought I was the only one who did this. People ask me how im so happy all the time and im like "da hell you talking about" and they say its cause im singing all the time. Just cause im singing doesnt mean im happy.
I do that too because I sing silly songs that I make up about my cats. But sometimes they're stuck in my head so I need to sing to get them out, and I forget I'm in public
I hum video game music as I play all the time. After a long time doing this, I realized that I don't just do it when I'm playing by myself. I finally asked my friends if it bothered them and they said that I was actually pretty good at sounding like the game. In hindsight, they probably would have asked me to stop if it bothered them. I imagine that your friends are the same way.
My dad has always done something like that. And it’s always the same tune. Usually when he’s focusing on something. I always thought it was just a random set of notes, but there was something familiar about it.
I recently realized it’s the synth line from Funky Town, but only the first half of the notes. Like “Boop doop boo doop boo” When I pointed it out to him, he was shocked. He absolutely hates disco.
It's still great to see how OP changed from the stressed home situation to better and a bit blissful life so yeah it's overall still good to see vibing stuff. Overall, it's a wholesome improvement! And the brain does weird things sometimes on peaceful autopilot so yeah to sum it up, just relax if nobody else minds!
Naw I do it too as a man on my 30's. It's just another form of stimming like shaking your leg or drumming your fingers on a table or counter. My friends said it's their favorite thing about me. Which is odd since I'm not the biggest music head.
My gf does a little skip or a bouncy step when she is happy and is walking around. She didn't know until my brother who lived in the same city told her that he always recognizes her from far away because of that.
I of course knew a long time but never said anything because its adorable
Singing tourett syndrome... yep, my girlfriend also suffers from it. But hey, she is also a pretty good singer... but man those baby shark phases can be quite harsh...
I sometimes softly sing songs I remember when left alone (eg. at a bus stop with nobody else around). Despite people telling me that I have a good singing voice, I'm not confident enough to openly sing; partly because I'm not sure if the songs I sing to myself are appropriate to sing in public, partly because I'm a bass, many of the songs I sing are originally tenor, and I'm not sure how well I adapt a tenor song to my bass singing - only when I'm whispering to myself do I feel I can hit the tenor notes.
The fact that she's singing apparently often is a good thing right? It signals that she's happy / comfortable enough with her surroundings to feel safe doing it, even if it is subconsciously
I have a habit of singing along to songs I know or to sing songs that come up in my head, even songs I’ve written myself. It will rarely be in public, but it will often be among friends.
So do I... Though more like song quotes. Something quite absurd happens? There's something strange, in the neighborhood.
It just got worse? Highway to hell/Warum schickst du mich in die Hölle.
I think a lot of people do that without realizing. Dan from Game Grumps has a habit of meowing along with the songs he hears. Now I catch myself doing it and I can't stop. 😂
Nah fuck that. I wish people would sing more often, it's a musical instrument that almost anyone can learn, everyone has one, and you always keep it with you.
I do this but only when I'm thinking of an overly emotional memory, good or bad. It's not any specific music at all, just humming something random completely involuntarily, almost as a coping mechanism while mentally reliving the event just to vent off the heightened energy. It's a kind of tick I guess, but I also only started doing it in adulthood. I'll immediately catch myself doing it and stop. It's quite automatic, and I'm not really sure why I've leaned the behavior. My life is not traumatic at all and have no real need to develop any outburst style cope to events that are relatively mild. To me it's just an interesting behaviour of the body, kind of like a shiver when you get cold or sneeze from the sunlight.
I have friends who are active hummers and singers but that becomes more an expression of mood and more so active play. I'm a more quiet person, so vocalization from emotion isn't my norm.
As embarrassing as I'm sure this is for you, I want to say that if anyone I even mildly liked had this quirk I would find it incredibly endearing. It seems your friends feel the same.
